Updates & Impacts

Closures of I-5 at Gilman Drive: In mid-September, all of the northbound or all of the southbound lanes of I-5, between the I-805 merge to La Jolla Village Drive, will be temporarily closed overnight on the dates below to prepare for placement of falsework (temporary structures used to support the Gilman Drive Bridge until final construction is completed). Northbound I-5 Closure: September 17 - 21, 9:30 p.m. - 5 a.m. each night. NB detours will be available via I-8, SR-52 and La Jolla Village Drive, and southbound detours will be available via I-805. Please anticipate significant traffic delays and follow detour signs. Motorists are encouraged to find alternate routes during these overnight closures. View additional information.

Tree Removal on Northbound I-5: In mid-September, crews will begin removing vegetation within the project area on the east side of northbound I-5 between La Jolla Colony Drive and Nobel Drive. Work is anticipated to continue through late 2017. Upon completion of project construction, trees and other types of vegetation will be replanted along I-5 where there is sufficient distance between the street and the new Trolley extension, as well as in other locations. For safety purposes, tree canopies when fully grown must be kept away from the overhead catenary lines associated with the new Trolley project. For this reason, trees cannot be replanted at all locations along I-5. View additional information on this construction activity.

Campus Point Drive: Campus Point Drive from Voigt Drive to Medical Center Drive will be closed 9 p.m. on Friday, September 15, through 5 a.m. on Monday, September 18, for installation of falsework, which is temporary framework used to support structures during construction.

The Project

The project will extend Trolley service from the Santa Fe Depot in Downtown San Diego to the University City community, serving major activity centers such as Old Town, the University of California San Diego (UCSD), and Westfield UTC.

This is a Federally Funded Project and we are requesting bids from DBE and SB Subcontractors. The overall DBE project goal is 11.3%. The goal provides an estimated $150 million in awards to DBE firms.

MCTC is committed to maximizing the participation of local and disadvantaged firms to benefit the community while providing San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) the best value. Learn about how your company can join our team and find out about upcoming opportunities.
